    Summary

    “I will not apologize for speaking the truth,” the child says. “However, I regret if that truth has offended you.”

    “Jesus Christ, kid,” Jim mutters.

    “I am not offended,” Spock responds, as blandly as he is able. “I was remiss in casting such hasty judgment upon your guardian.”

    ”Father,” she corrects.

    ”Your father,” he agrees.

    *****

    An academy AU + Tarsus aftermath fic in which James T. Kirk ends up accidentally parentally bonded to an orphaned Vulcan child. When the father/daughter duo enroll in Star Fleet, hijinks ensue (mostly at the expense of Spock’s previously immaculate but quickly deteriorating self-control).

    Winner of the 2025 Philon Award for a novel-length fic (!!!)

    Well-written. Painful because of some of the content, but also healing. I liked the structure as well, alternating flashback scenes from Jim’s perspective and present-time scenes from Spock’s perspective.

    Summary

    Stiles and Derek sitting in a tree, M-A-R-R-I-E-D.

    Wait, what?

    Or: Stiles thought he and Derek were finally getting to be bros, and then Deaton had to go and ruin everything with his stupid spell.

    A lot of silly fun — and I love Stiles’s voice.

    Summary

    He slips in love with Spock inconspicuously, during an uneventful afternoon, on an unnamed planet destined to become little more than a Greek letter and a Roman numeral on Starfleet’s chart of the Beta Cygni system.
     
    In which:
     
    -Spock gets amnesia.
    -Spock is convinced that he and Jim are a thing.
    -Jim doesn’t exactly disabuse him of the notion.

    Summary

    SON OF PARLIAMENTARY OFFICIAL CAUGHT IN SORDID SEX SCANDAL, CLICK FOR VIDEO, is a headline that Monty could have done without. He could do without the sidelong looks, the way his Mother can hardly speak to him, the way his best friend and secret love of his life has been avoiding him. He could do without the fact that every time he goes out now, every time he tries to move past this, he can't get over the fear that this, too, will be caught on film. If only there were someone he trusted; absolutely, to the bones trusted, who would be willing to have sex with him. No strings attached, of course.

    Deeply emotional.

    Summary

    Clark Kent woke up, ate breakfast, went to work—the same way he did every day. Ordinary.

    Except for the part where Superman hadn't been seen in at least a week and nobody knew why, Lois was acting kind of weird, and Bruce Wayne was insisting that Clark was the only reporter he'd allow to run a feature on the crashed alien ship in the park, since Wayne Enterprises had been granted control of the site. And the way Clark felt every time Wayne looked at him a little too long definitely wasn't helping.

    But it was fine. Clark was normal, there was nothing wrong with him, and everything was fine.

    Well-written. An interesting glimpse into one reason why someone might have developed some internalized homophobia.
